I feel semi-competent and clueless a lot of the time. This promotion to unit manager had me thrown into the deep end over Thanksgiving, no training, and I have finally picked everything up but we worked VERY short for a few weeks there and paperwork got ignored.
The nurses on my unit are a generally great bunch, but they are, as are many, passive-aggressive and if I say, "I feel good today. I think I'm getting a handle on it" I will her, "Yeah, you should be busier. Makes me wonder if you're missing something."
I no longer nurse. I argue with obstinate people about changing treatments that aren't working and document to we don't get dinged or sued.
Pooh.
